This school, under the energetic guidance of its present efficient principal, maintains its place in the front rank of our schools. The progress made by the pupils has been very commendable. The plan pursued is to afford an elementary education in English to all the pupils who show an aptitude therefor, whilst those who do not are offered the advantages of acquiring a better education in their own language than they can obtain in the majority of common schools.
The corps of teachers is paid, as formerly, partly from the fund for the support of English and Hawaiian schools, and partly from the school fund of the district.
